Abstract
A testing module including a designation information storing section that stores designation information designating an order of decoding fundamental patterns, a fundamental pattern storing section that stores the fundamental patterns, a plurality of pattern generating sections that each generate a test pattern to be supplied to a device under test, a plurality of position information storing sections that each store, in association with a corresponding pattern generating section, position information designating a read position from which the designation information is read from the designation information storing section, and an information transmission path shared by the pattern generating sections that transmits a part of the designation information from the designation information storing section to the designation information temporary storing section in each pattern generating section. Each pattern generating section decodes the fundamental patterns in an order designated by the partial designation information stored on the designation information temporary storing section.
